3-Year Old Boy Dies After Being Tortured, Burned by Baby Sitters

As we lament the death of a small Jewish boy in Brooklyn, an African-American child tortured to death is remembered also.

(PHILADELPHIA ) - Your Black World reports that this week, police said that a 3-year old boy died after being tortured by the adults responsible for his care.

Jaquinn Brewton’s death was ruled a homicide when he was taken off life support. Police say that he was kicked, punched and had his hands, feet and rear end burned with a blowtorch.

The boy’s god mother, 22-year old Nadera Batson was arrested and charged with murder.

She was accompanied by her boyfriend, Marcus King, who has also been implicated in the boy’s death.

Capt. James Clark of the Philadelphia Police Department says that the investigation revealed that Jaquinn was left by his mother with Batson and King in March when she went to a homeless shelter with her other five children.

Jaquinn was found unconscious by police on June 29 when they were told that a child fell out of a window of a home in West Philadelphia.

“The little boy took all the pain that he could until he couldn’t take it anymore,” Clark said.

“It’s just unconscionable to think that someone would do this to a 3-year-old,” Clark said.

“I have 22 years in the police department and this is one of the saddest cases I’ve seen.”

This dimension is home of Satan..."You will tell them by their actions"...this is the generation of The Apocolypse and nothing will stop it...the time has come for the exposure and death of evil for ALL to see... we are not onotologically all the same...approx 30 per cent are of demonic essence...these sons of darkness and supporting minions/robots are on their last life...and will soon be transmuted into primordial energy and cease to exist...after facing the same pain and misery and exploitation they have submitted to the true divine beings trapped and cut off from the rest of creation... this dimension was taken over by a evil demigod and since that time we have been living Satan's world...or also called The Kingdom of Zion... our Liberation is coming...take a good long look at your world "You can tell them by their actions"... Wakeup...Wakeup it is all around you...we are living in Satan's Hell Hole...

To know that monsters such as these walk our streets is frightening. Children walking home, little ones left in the hands of those we believe would protect them are all at risk. Atrocity after atrocity against innocent children leaves me aching for mankind. These little ones are the hope for tomorrow. I cannot comprehend what sort of being has it in their soul to do such horrible things. I hope the Brewton family can eventually find peace after this horrific loss but I cannot see how that is possible. I hope that there is indeed a heaven and that this little guy given special treatment there.

May little sweet Jaquinn rest in peace now that he is far from his torturers and murderers! My heart breaks for what this little boy was forced to endure. The monsters who did this to him should be subjected to what they subjected this little sweet boy, and nothing less! These monstes aren't human, they have no soul, no conscience! May Karma burn their asses for as long as they live and beyond!
